Don't think either team would do it though. That trade proposal gets a big "no way" from me. We took years to build up this depth and future. These guys represent that solid foundation IMO.

Especially if the Yanks believe they can get Machado in the offseason to man 3rd. Bring up Drury for the rest of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love all those players but that is a deal I make. Especially if the Yanks believe they can get Machado in the offseason to man 3rd. Bring up Drury for the rest of year. Understood entirely. Frazier and Sheffield are prospects / potential at this stage - but if the talent evaluations have been done correctly, they're depth now - front line starters in a short while and for years to come. I like Drury - good ballplayer - but I think Andujar has taken his spot. Unless pitchers suddenly find a recurring weakness/hole in his swing - he's represents "money" - again, now and for years to come. Thats stability through strength - at a good cost - which I hope is the new Yankee way. Years past, prospects or young players didnt stand a chance with the team. They were traded away for more established - more expensive - stars / starters - with shorter careers ahead of them. Not dissing DeGrom one bit - but I'm really wary of putting too many eggs in an expensive starting pitchers basket. An elbow here - a tendon there - and they're down for the count - under the knife - potentially with months of rehab ahead of them to hopefully regain their form. We're in a really good spot now. Havent been here for quite awhile and it took alot of Cashman wheeling & dealing to get us in this position. Lets not piss it away too quickly...... We need a Starter - no doubt - but I dont like this proposed transaction with the NYMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Starter is a big need for the Yanks for sure but do they give up one of their impressive young talents to get a pitcher? I don't know. I think they should wait until next winter and free agency to addrss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollino14 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Honestly, idk it would hurt trading away Andujar/Clint and Sheffield but if they get Noah freaking Syndergaard you have to do it. He’s gonna be 26 in late August. He and Sevy would be the best 1-2 punch for the next 6 plus years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just took a look at DeGrom and Syndergaard's numbers and DeGrom's got him beat in most areas. As I never watch NYM baseball - why's Syndergaard considered the better pitcher? His stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we need a guy this year, make a move for Hamels or Ross (especially if the Rangers just want to dump Hamels for not much). Andujar looks like a stud. Why trade him because we're desperate for a run this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deal of Andujar, Sheff and Frazier would be a massive win. All is moot though because they arent moving DeGrom for that package, especially to NYY.

Patrick Corbin, Clayton Kershaw, Dallas Keuchel, Drew Pomeranz, Gio Gonzalez, and Garrett Richards are all slated to hit FA this off-season.

Why trade him because we're desperate for a run this year? Hamels won’t cost too much, I read a rumor it’d be centered around Chance Adams which I’m fine with giving up. I feel like we should be aggressive for a GOOD pitcher like a Mad-Bum, DeGrom etc. because although the future is very bright, there’s no promises. If you would’ve asked Nats or Dodgers fans years ago I’m sure everyone of them thought they’d have one. We have too many question marks in the rotation and that’s gonna cause some problems, especially if you’re going up against Verlander, Cole, Morton and Kuekhel. Hamels, or a stud pitcher or we should wait. No Tyson Ross’ or JA Happ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker8267 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Sports radio ish topic: Who's the best SP in New York? I like deGrom, and he deserves more respect locally and nationally, but Luis Severino has shown me enough. He's the best starter in that city. deGrom is close, though.
